The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.
The meaning of life is that nobody knows the meaning of life.
Where did the world come from? The question has an answer, even though I cannot get to it. It is a good question. It is like a crime that has not been solved. There is an answer, even if police do not know it.

When you look past the image, a celebrity is merely a person you know nothing about.
The secret story is the one we'll never know, although we're living it from day to day, thinking we're alive, thinking we've got it all under control and the stuff we overlook doesn't matter.

I and this mystery, here we stand.
